Surprise, surprise. Here is another one, I agree with you. Traditional fast breeders are a liability, give me something better and you have an argument worth listening to. Try key words like "Thorium" and "Fusion" which, by the way, I know are not the same.... However, base load can be derived from renewables as well.... now that's an engineering solution worth pursuing....
Stop crapping on about global warming being a fiction, its FACT and use your engineering skills to come up with a solution that does not include 3 mile island like scenarios. The technology could work, why don't you spend your time promoting the non-melt down versions instead of wasting time 
... and by the way, Tasmania is about as far from "oblivion" as you can get. Last time I saw the mainland I couldn't stand the stink..., (No offense to the rest of you....), crowds, pollution, noise, agro, stress etc. couldn't wait to get back to "The real world". If you check out the reality of the situation, the more you build up the rest of the world, the harder it gets to maintain.... classic deck of cards. I'd love it if the rest of the world could catch up to Tassie. I can go to places of ABSOLUTE silence, that are clean. Mind you, our current F*witt premier wants us to emulate whats already proven to be a failure. He's next on the hit list and wont last his term. |
Plainly, regardless of what you profess, you have no interest in saving the planet. The time for action is supposed to be now - nice nuclear power is already doing it's bit in Europe. When all those hopeless green energy power supplies fail, the countries have to ask France to pump some real power from its nuclear plants into their grids.
If we ever do join the European ETS, I hope someone builds a power cable from France to Australia.
I think the figures are that half the population of Tasmania are currently on some kind of welfare benefits. The more pristine the State gets, the higher the welfare money that comes from the rest of us in the dirty States that you seem to despise.
Plainly, at the last election, most Tasmanians decided that it couldn't go on and they'd had enough. I've seen in Italy parents despairing that their kids can't get jobs. I can't imagine that Tasmanians in general wouldn't be equally worried about their kids' futures.
